AR6600T Receiver Installation
For optimum RF link performance it’s important that the antennas be mounted in
an orientation that allows for the best possible signal reception when the aircraft
is in all possible attitudes and positions. This is known as antenna polarization.
The antennas should be oriented perpendicular to each other; typically vertical
and horizontal and at different angles. The remote receiver antenna should be
mounted in a position perpendicular and at least 2 inches away from the main
receiver’s antenna using double-sided foam tape.
AR6270T Carbon Fuse Receiver Installation
Airplanes with significant carbon fiber construction can create an RF shielding
effect, reducing range. The AR6270T is designed to overcome these critical RF
issues in carbon airplanes by outfitting the aircraft with two external antennas at
specific points that will ensure secure RF coverage from all angles of the aircraft.
The AR6270T incorporates two 7-inch feeder antennas, which are designed to
be easily mounted through the fuselage in carbon airplanes. Each feeder antenna
includes acoaxial portion (which can be thought of as an extension) and an
exposed 31mm tip antenna. The last 31mm is the active portion of the antenna.
Installing the Receiver
Install the receiver in the normal position recommended by the airplane’s
manufacturer. Double-sided tape or foam can be used to secure the receiver
in place.
Tip: The hard case can be removed to help the AR6270T fit into a slim,
carbon fuselage. It is recommended to cover the bare receiver in heat
shrink.
Mounting the Antennas
To install the antennas, drill two 1/16-inch holes in the desired antenna
mounting positions.
